Updating System Passwords in Windchill Property Files
You can update the system passwords that are encrypted in Windchill properties files by using the following parameter on the xconfmanager utility command:
-s (or --set)
Enter the new password in plain text. Windchill encrypts the new password before storing it. For example, to change the database password that is stored in db.properties to newPW123, enter the following command from a Windchill shell:
xconfmanager -s wt.pom.dbPassword=newPW123 -t db.properties -p
For information about using the xconfmanager utility, see
Using the xconfmanager Utility.
Because the encrypted password is not actually stored in the property file or in the site.xconf file, the property value displayed in these files is unchanged after you set a new password. The updated value is stored in the keystore file.
The list of properties containing Windchill system passwords that are encrypted when you set the passwords using the xconfmanager utility is maintained in the validProperties.list file. This file is located in the <Windchill>/bin/adminTools/sip directory. If a property is not listed in the validProperties.list file, the password is not encrypted when you enter an xconfmanager command to set the password.

Modifying the validProperties.list file affects which passwords are encrypted through the xconfmanager utility, as well as the passwords encrypted by the encryptAllPasswords target available from the EncryptPasswords.xml script. After initially selecting which passwords to encrypt, you should not modify the file unless you are changing your product configuration or customizing Windchill and need to change which passwords are encrypted.
